I've added two bound controls to a switchboard. Whenever
I open another form via the swithboard AND the resulting
form covers the bound controls on the switchboard, the
bound controls display "#error" when I close the second
form.

Any Ideas?

Is this a Switchboard Form generated by the Switchboard Manager or a
Switchboard Form you created yourself? If the former, I'll have to hope
someone else will step in -- I don't use Switchboard Manager. If the latter,
please give some details, as this seems to me a strange phenomenon. To what
did you bind the Form, or do you mean you have Combo or List Boxes with a
Row Source on an unbound Form?

It was generated by the Switchboard Manager.

Scott,
I would have to agree with Larry -- that does not sound "kosher" at all. Can
you supply some more detail about what's going on. What bound controls do
you have on your switchboard? Does it do this with all forms you open via
the switchboard? What if you open a form directly -- does it happen then?
 
Lynn,

Here's the answers to your questions, plus I've added a
few additional details below.

"What bound controls do you have on your switchboard?"
-Two text boxes

"Does it do this with all forms you open via the
switchboard?"
- Yes

"What if you open a form directly -- does it happen then?"
- Yes

If the form doesn't cover a control it doesn't cause the
error.

The error only seems to occur when I use the "X" button in
the upper right hand corner of the form.

If I close the form using the command button I placed on
the form, it doesn't cause the error on the switchboard.

Thanks,
Scott
 
I forgot to add one other peculiarity.

If a form opens over a control and I move it so it doesn't
cover the control, then the control displays the correct
information and closing the form has no effect on the
control.
